Did John Hinckley Jr. shoot Reagan?

[killtown]

The official story:

1) The first bullet tore through the brain of press secretary James Brady.

2) The second his policeman Thomas Delahanty in the back.

3) The third overshot the President and hit a building.

4) The fourth shot hit secret service agent Timothy McCarthy in the chest.

5) The fifth shot hit the bullet-proof glass of the President's limousine.

6) The sixth and final bullet nearly killed the President. As aides rushed to push Reagan into his car, the bullet ricocheted off the car, then hit the President in the chest, grazed a rib and lodged in his lung, just inches from his heart.

The shot that hit Reagan flattened against the limousine and struck Reagan under the left armpit.

The bullet went along the side of the car and passed between the open door and the car, a space of about an inch or less. And as it was going along the side of the car, it has flattened out, so it was kind of like a jagged dime, is what it looked like.


Does that last alleged shot by Hickley seem a little too impossible to you too?

Notice Reagan's left arm was pinned down by his Secret Service agent when he allegedly got struck by Hickley 6th and final bullet:

Is it another huge coincidence that even Reagan admitted he didn't think he was shot outside the Limo?

Reagan was hit last, but didn't know it right away.

He thought he'd cracked a rib from being thrown, face down, into the limousine by Secret Service agent Jerry Parr.

"I thought Jerry had broken my rib when he landed so hard on me," Reagan wrote in his autobiography.


And of course:

"Bush Son Had Dinner Plans With Hinckley Brother Before Shooting"
-Associated Press (March 31, 1981)

Nice Work There.....

Hinckley did not shoot Reagan...and Reagan knew it....one of the service agents was the shooter..it worked in 63....so why not try it again in 81...It has been reported over the years that Nancy cannot stand being in the same room with the Bushes...I wonder why?..........

Very interesting. I'd never really looked into this, since RR didn't die.

[2013]

I remember this story in the papers at the time it broke all the bush hinckly family relationship and how hinckly was kicked out of the american nazi party for being too violent! His favourite song at the time was reported to be psycho killer by the talking heads, was that a clue talking heads and if he wasa psycho killer he went after the wrong one didnt he . With hindsight we can see it was the bush plan of getting into the white house driving seat even earlier but it failed , i suppose they where going for a 1999 deadline then now its more online for 2012 wether thats 2007 or 2012 according to the calendar . :D

And why did they served us the whole Jodie Foster story, like Hinckley doing this to impress her?

[howie]

Jodie Foster was used as a handler/mind-contol trigger when she met Hinckley 4 times in September 1980 at Yale, she acts very suspicious whenever his name his mentioned.

Until I read todays Daily Mail, I didn't know Hinckley was allowed out to stay with his parents.

She has remained terrified of stalkers, say those in her circle, ever since John Hinckley - who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981 - claimed he had planned the killing to impress her.

Like her character in the 2002 hit Panic Room, the actress is said to have installed a fortified safe area in the house after learning two years ago that 52-year-old Hinckley, who was acquitted of attempted murder after pleading insanity, is being allowed out from mental hospital for overnight visits with his parents near Washington.

It's interesting if you aply Prouty's Law to this case. Obviously the security measures worked whihc leades me to think that Hinckley really was a "lone nut". The same goes for Samuel Byck's attempted assassination of President Nixon:

In early 1974, Byck made his decision to assassinate Nixon. He planned to do so by hijacking an airliner and crashing it into the White House on a day when Nixon would be there. It has been suggested (for instance, by the 2004 film dramatization of his life) that Byck was inspired by news reports of the February 17, 1974 buzzing of the White House by Army PFC Robert K. Preston in a stolen helicopter.

Since Byck was already known to the Secret Service, and because legal attempts to purchase a firearm might have resulted in increased scrutiny, Byck stole a .22 caliber revolver from a friend of his to use in the hijacking. Byck also made a bomb out of 2 gallon jugs of gasoline and an igniter. All through this process, Byck made audio recordings explaining his motives and his plans; he expected to be considered a hero for his actions, and wanted to fully document his reasons for the assassination.


George RamsburgOn February 22, 1974, Byck drove to the Baltimore/Washington International Airport. He shot and killed Maryland Aviation Administration Police Officer George Neal Ramsburg before storming aboard a DC-9, Delta Air Lines Flight 523 to Atlanta, which he chose because it was the closest flight that was ready to take off. After pilots Reese (Doug) Loftin and Fred Jones told him they could not take off until wheel blocks were removed, he shot them both and grabbed a nearby passenger, ordering her to "fly the plane". Jones died instantly; Loftin survived the attack. Byck told a flight attendant to close the door or he would blow the plane up. Anne Arundel County Police officers attempted to shoot out the tires of the aircraft in order to prevent it from taking off. However, the .38 caliber bullets fired from the Smith & Wesson revolvers issued to the officers at that time period failed to penetrate the tires of the aircraft and instead ricocheted off, some hitting the wing of the aircraft.

After a standoff with police, Charles Troyer, an Anne Arundel County police officer, on the jetway stormed the plane and fired four shots through the aircraft door at Byck with a .357 Magnum revolver taken from Ramsburg's body. Two of the shots hit Byck after penetrating the thick window of the aircraft door and wounded him. Before the police could gain entry to the aircraft, Byck committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

According to a special on the History Channel, he lived for a few minutes after shooting himself, finally dying after saying "help me" to one of the police officers who entered the plane after he had been shot. A briefcase containing the gasoline bomb was found under his body. The plane never left the gate, and Nixon's schedule was not affected by the assassination attempt.

This failed assassination is especially interesting because of the method. It is the same as 9/11. But in this case Prouty's Law predicts that it would fail because of why it did: The airport's security and police force prevented Byck even hijacking the aircraft, let alone flying it into the White House.
